Entrepreneurship: Do you have some tips for keeping focused as an entrepreneur?
CR
CR
Chris Remus, I launch, fix and optimize projects and workflows. answered:

As a fellow entrepreneur, I struggled with keeping focus for a very long time. Entrepreneurs have tons of ideas running around in our heads and are usually self-directed/managed, which makes it very easy for us to get distracted and pulled in a million directions!

The answer for me has been to set a limited number priorities for my day, every day. I actually just published a trending post on Medium earlier this week to describe how I do it.

Here's a brief excerpt -

Most people think making their day more productive also means ADDING stress to the day. That doesn’t have to be the case. By setting priorities for your day, you can actually become MORE PRODUCTIVE and LESS STRESSED at the same time.

Setting priorities for your day allows you to -

1 — Determine your most important tasks (MIT’s) that need to get done that day

2 — Set realistic expectations for what you can accomplish in a day

3 — Stay focused throughout the day

4 — Stay motivated throughout the day

5 — Enjoy a feeling of accomplishment at the end of the day

6 — Rest and recharge

If you'd like to read the rest of the post, you can find it here -

Happy to answer any questions you may have about the more productive and less stressful day on a call!
